Re: Nodding off during meditation.
Three comments/suggestions.
First: Make sure you're getting enough sleep. Sounds really basic, but if you're tired, and you get very relaxed, it's hard to maintain any kind of awareness. Your body's and mind's instinct, indeed, the programming, is to go to sleep.
Second: Try meditating in a less comfortable position or location. For example, sitting in a chair. You need to be comfortable enough to relax, but not so comfortable that you'll easily fall asleep.
Third: Maintaining awareness in a relaxed state takes practice. The more you do it, the more able you are to do it, just like physical exercise. It builds up over time if you keep at it. In time you can get to where you can enter a light trance state anywhere and at any time. Just practice, really, and it will develop at its own pace.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
